OK..so my google voice messages and voice mails show up in hangouts. My partner's however do not. He is using a xperia z3 and has hangouts, hangouts dialer, and google voice all installed set up and signed in with the same gmail account. However within hangouts there are no settings for google voice. We have followed all instructions and searched google for an hour.. Tried uninstalling clearing catches and updating and even reverting to the first hangouts version that migrated in google voice all with no results.. Any suggestions?
No one has any answers?
It's been awhile but seems like just updating Hangouts and its dialer didn't immediately turn on the voice options. You had to wait for Google to "hit" your account, ie they activated the GV options by stages. You may have to contact somebody in GV support to fix this.

Hello, coming from the EVO, and now the awesome Nexus-S 4G, I am used to the stock Visual Voicemail that Sprint provides on the EVO's, and with the Nexus I just setup Google Voice. Some issues and questions please.
- My texts are going to the Voice app, not GO SMS anymore ? I only want texts using the GO app, not Google Voice.
- It seems I did use Google Voice like a year ago, and I have a boatload of message popping up from last year, how do I delete all these old voice mail messages ?
- Is there a way for the little Voice app icon, to display a # next to it of unread messages ? Like if I miss a text message it will show a little number 1 at the top corner of the app icon of how many missed texts I have, can the voice icon show that too ?
UPDATE;
I logged into my Google account on my computer, found the settings options, but some things still seem strange ?
My text messages are still going to Google Voice, and not even showing up in my GO SMS text app at all, or even the stock Android messaging, they only going to Google voice ? I did log into my gmail account on my computer and disabled texts, but it didn't seem to take ?
do you even want the messages to come through Google Voice? If not you can remove all of it and just use GV as Voicemail like Visual Voicemail...
If you just want to use GV as voice mail you have to log into your GV account through the web, Go into the phones setting and turn off the SPrint GV integration. Go into the app on the phone and delete the app data. Update the app in the market and then you will be able to "Skip" the GV Sprint integration and use it only for Voicemail.
I probably won't get back to this post until tomorrow so hopefully someone else can guide you.

Yes I want Google Voice as just a visual voice mail like i had with my EVO, I don't want Google Voice used for anything else besides that.
2 ways to do this, i've done it many times, lol.
1.) open gvoice settings in the browser from a computer and click deactivate google voice on this phone. You should then see the link change to "activate google voice on this phone." you will also see below it: deactivate google voicemail on this phone, that tells you that voicemail is still on. I think you want both of hte text message boxes unchecked as well. save it, that should do it. this is how i'm setup, i only use it like VVM.
2.) clear data on the google voice app on the phone. launch the app. when you get to the activation part, hit the SKIP button, basically it sets you up without using the extended gvoice features, select "do not use google voice to make any calls." finish the setup wizard, should be good from there.

During some upgrades to Lollipop (5.0.1) and the newest Hangouts (2.5.816xxxx) and Hangouts Dialer (0.1.816xxxx), something got broken and I was stuck in this endless loop of error messages with the Hangouts Dialer.
"Phone calling is not supported for this account with this version of Hangouts."
Annoying! I had some issues with a Google Voice number, my cell number, and all the "seamless" integration Hangouts offers across all my devices.
To fix it
go to hangouts
hit the three lines in the top left
select settings
choose your gmail account
go down to Account under "Phone number confirmed"
reconfirm your number(s)
and that sorted out my Google Hangouts Calling feature.
I am using Google Voice on a Stock VZW HTC One M8 with Android 4.4.4 and I was wondering if there is a way to integrate GV with the Sense Messenger app. I have the GV settings box ticked to show notifications in the call log, and I have the Call settings for voicemail switched to GV. But the Messenger app seems to be tied to VVM. GV seems to be working fine otherwise, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a way, either rooted or not, to better integrate GV, I'd be psyched.
As an aside, I have hangouts and the hangouts dialer installed, yet I don't have any setting for Google Voice in Hangouts either. I'm on v2.5 so it should be there. Is there a way to get it or is there a reason it's not supported on this phone?
Thanks in advance!
Hey everyone,
I get texts from 2 numbers on a constant basis to my google voice number and suddenly I noticed that I wasn't getting them anymore on my phone. They show up on the google voice app and on the web page just fine, but not in the default messaging app on my Galaxy Note 4, or in Google Hangouts when I switch that to be my default messaging app.
Things I've tried:
- deleting the contact and everything from google voice
- unlinking and relinking my phone via the google voice webpage and app
- hard resetting my phone
- having those two numbers message my phones built in number (works fine with both messaging, and hangouts app)
- checking the phones blocked/spam list even after a hard reset and nothing was there.
- creating a new google account with a new google voice number and linking my phone to the new account (both text messages went to my phone fine!)
I get every other text message and phone call just fine, sending and receiving to my google voice number. But these two suddenly stopped. And using a different google account/google voice number makes it work too.
I can't just use the google voice app because I need the messages to work with my car's text messaging system.
Somehow something is blocking those 2 numbers from reaching my phone though when using my main google voice account.
Any ideas besides just saying screw it and using the new number? I'd really hate to stop using my number that I've had for years.
